Tendinitis Sidelines Cartwright

Bill Cartwright, held out of Tuesday night`s game against Denver because of tendinitis in his left knee, called it ``a good chance for Will (Perdue)

and Scott (Williams) to play.``

Cartwright missed rookie sensation Dikembe Mutombo in both meetings with the Nuggets this season. Last game, Cartwright was out with a fractured hand. The wall: Cartwright, an All-Star in his rookie season, said he thinks he knows what Mutombo, whose stats have slipped drastically in March, is going through.
